The Department of Homeland Security has released its long-awaited report focused on reducing the ways artificial intelligence could exacerbate chemical and biological threats. The document, which was finalized in April but only made public after apparent suggestions from presidential advisers, details several new recommendations focused on AI safety, including encouraging the use of additional credentialing for high-risk scientific databases and the creation of standards for “unacceptably dangerous responses” from large language models. The recommendations build on voluntary White House AI safety commitments that several large technology companies have signed onto, including OpenAI and Palantir. https://lnkd.in/e_dtexqh

Leading artificial intelligence companies have agreed to allow governments including the UK, US and Singapore to test their latest models for national security and other risks before they are released to businesses and consumers. Companies including OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, Amazon, Mistral, Microsoft and Meta on Thursday signed a “landmark” but not legally binding document, closing a two-day AI safety summit in the UK. The document was signed by governments that also included Australia, Canada, the EU, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and South Korea. China was not a signatory. An international panel of experts will also set out an annual report on the evolving risks of AI, including bias, misinformation and more extreme “existential” risks such as aiding in the development of chemical weapons.

A tech-illiterate Congress is a legitimate threat to national security. And that’s exactly what we have. Luckily, Stanford is taking the initiative to teach our legislators the fundamentals of AI. We don’t need Congress to be tech experts. Conversant is better than nothing, and this is a step in the right direction. Effective policy-making starts with a clear understanding of AI.

It's time to expand access to the AI infrastructure needed for cutting-edge AI R&D! I'm delighted that Congress, in a bipartisan and bicameral action, has introduced the CREATE AI Act to establish the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR). This legislation mirrors the recommendations of the NAIRR Task Force, which I had the honor to co-chair. Through access to this data and cyber infrastructure, our Nation's AI researchers and students will be well equipped to advance trustworthy AI for the benefit of the American people. #AI #NAIRR #NSF

Access Denied: AI will revolutionize cyberthreat detection and risk assessment in the next year. However, it's crucial to maintain human involvement for responsible technology use. - Artificial Intelligence topics! #ai #artificialintelligence #intelligenzaartificiale

The US and UK have signed a landmark agreement on artificial intelligence, as the allies become the first countries to formally co-operate on how to test and assess risks from emerging AI models. The agreement, signed on Monday (1st April 2024) in Washington by UK science minister Michelle Donelan and US commerce secretary Gina Raimondo, lays out how the two governments will pool technical knowledge, information and talent on AI safety. The deal represents the first bilateral arrangement on AI safety in the world and comes as governments push for greater regulation of the existential risks from new technology, such as its use in damaging cyber attacks or designing bioweapons.
